E-Cigarette: Vocabulary and Definitions

E-cigarettes are a new invention that created a unique culture with a language of its own. I did some research and found information that I think will be helpful to anyone interested in e-cigarettes. Now let’s look at the language of e-cigarettes and e-smoking, starting with the most common words and expressions:
e-cigarette (also electronic cigarette or e-cig) noun: an electronic device converts special liquid (e-liquid) into water vapor that looks like a conventional cigarette
e-smoking noun: the activity of smoking e-cigarettes or other similar devices like the electronic cigar
e-smoker noun: someone who smokes e-cigarettes or electronic cigar
conventional cigarette (also regular cigarette or traditional cigarette) noun: is a cigarette made of finely cut tobacco leaves and wrapped into paper
conventional smoking noun: the activity of smoking conventional cigarettes
e-liquid (also e-juice or smoke juice) noun: the special liquid mixture that is converted into vapor and used with e-cigarettes or electronic cigars
mouthpiece noun: the part of the e-cigarette that you put in your mouth to smoke; most people consider this part the cartridge but the word is necessary because the actual cartridge (polyester batting stuffed in a mini tube) is inside the mouthpiece
e-cigarette starter kit noun: the basic equipment that comes with a new e-cigarette device, which usually includes 1 atomizer, 2 batteries, 1 charger, and 5 cartridges filled with e-liquid
throat hit noun: the sensation an e-smoker feels at the back of the throat-usually the stronger this sensation, the better because the experience becomes closer to conventional smoking
vape (synonym: to smoke) verb: to smoke e-cigarettes or electronic cigars
vaping (synonym: e-smoking) noun: the activity of smoking e-cigarettes or electronic cigars
fogger noun: an e-cigarette or electronic cigar
hot cigarette (synonym: conventional cigarette) noun: cigarettes made of finely cut tobacco leaves and wrapped into paper
hot smoking (synonym: conventional smoking) noun: the activity of smoking hot cigarettes
analog (or analogue) noun: a conventional cigarette made of paper and tobacco leaves.
This is the current vocabulary of e-cigarettes, which will change with time. I don’t think that word e-cig will survive–I just can’t see people using it in a face-to-face conversation.

how 2 buy this cigarette
Geez, I never heard of anything so stupid before! There is nothing about an e-cigarette that is ever going to hurt anyone ….the whole reason behind banning cigarettes. So we follow the law and find alternative means that are acceptable and still, some how, some way they are still not acceptable. Who cares that non-smokers might have be be educated on what an e-cig is and assured that it’s not going to cause them any harm? People talk and act like non-smokers are idiots who cannot be educated. I’d be angry about this insinuation if I was a non-smoker.
